On behalf of The Willow Domestic Violence Center, I extend our deepest gratitude for your presence and support at The Willow's Garden Party 2025.

So, thank you once again for your unwavering support!
Together, we are making a difference in the lives of survivors and working towards a happier, healthier, and safer community.

The Willow Garden Party brings together community leaders, advocates, and supporters to celebrate resilience and hope in a beautiful garden setting. Held on the same weekend as the Kentucky Derby, the Garden Party is a celebration of community, safety, and fabulous fashion, featuring show-stopping hats and mint juleps.
Don your finest Derby attire—seersucker suits, extravagant hats, and colorful dresses—as we enjoy brunch, signature cocktails, and live entertainment while we raise funds to support survivors of domestic violence. In true Derby fashion, we’ll host a Best Hat contest for guests in attendance.
Raffles, auctions, and more—all for a great cause!
All proceeds directly help The Willow Domestic Violence Center provide crisis resources, shelter, and support for those in need.
